While you may see high packet loss across an ISP link, unless you are getting similar numbers from all hops past that point you aren't looking at real packet loss, since the transit packets are getting through fine. It's just the routers themselves that are ignoring requests or discarding responses in favor of pushing routed packets. -- James Michael Keller _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
